Looking for an industrial electrician in Melbourne you can rely on? J3T Electrical has been providing industrial electrician services across Melbourne for over 10 years. We are a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC), fully insured, and all our electricians are A-grade licensed. Whether you need a full factory fit-out wired from scratch, a three-phase switchboard upgraded, or machinery wired in on a production floor, we have the experience and the gear to get it done safely and to code.
We work with manufacturers, warehouse operators, logistics companies, food processors, and builders across every industrial zone in Melbourne. Our industrial electrical services cover everything from three-phase power installations and machine wiring through to thermal imaging, data cabling, and LED lighting upgrades. No job is too complex, no facility too large.
Every industrial site is different. A food processing plant in Footscray has different electrical and compliance requirements to a logistics warehouse in Epping or a manufacturing facility in Spotswood. We get that – and we will give you honest advice on exactly what your facility needs.
Our Industrial Electrical Services
As an industrial electrician in Melbourne, we deliver electrical solutions for factories, warehouses, production facilities, and logistics centres across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Fit-outs & Installations
Factory & Warehouse Fit-outs
Fitting out a new industrial space or reconfiguring an existing one? We handle the full electrical scope for factory and warehouse fit-outs — from main switchboard installation and sub-distribution boards through to power outlets, lighting, and data cabling across the floor. We work with your builder or project manager to make sure the electrical is done on schedule and passes inspection first time.
Machinery & Equipment Wiring
New machinery needs proper electrical connections to run safely and to code. We wire in industrial equipment including CNC machines, compressors, conveyor systems, packaging lines, hydraulic presses, and manufacturing tools. This includes running dedicated circuits from the switchboard, installing appropriate isolators, and testing under load. If you're relocating equipment, we handle the disconnection, rerouting, and reconnection.
Three-Phase Power Installation & Upgrades
Most industrial facilities run on three-phase power to handle heavy electrical loads. We install new three-phase supplies, upgrade existing single-phase to three-phase, and connect three-phase equipment. This includes the application to your electricity distributor, meter panel work, switchboard installation, and all wiring through to your equipment. If circuits are tripping under load, your supply may need upgrading.
Power Outlet Installation
Industrial power outlets take more abuse than standard outlets and need to be rated for the environment. We install single-phase and three-phase industrial outlets, including IP-rated weatherproof outlets for outdoor loading docks and wash-down areas. We also install dedicated circuits for high-draw equipment to prevent overloading shared circuits.
Lighting & Energy
Industrial Lighting Installation & LED Upgrades
Good lighting in a factory or warehouse is a safety requirement, not just a convenience. We design and install lighting systems for production floors, loading docks, storage areas, and car parks. For existing facilities, we do full LED upgrades from older fluorescent or metal halide fittings — LED high-bays cut power consumption by 50% to 70% and last significantly longer. All installations comply with AS/NZS 1680.
Exit & Emergency Lighting
Exit and emergency lighting is a legal requirement in industrial buildings under AS 2293 and needs testing every six months. We install, repair, and service emergency and exit lighting for factories, warehouses, and industrial units. We can bring your facility up to compliance and put you on a regular testing and tagging schedule so you never fall behind on inspections.
Energy Saving Solutions
Power bills are a major overhead for industrial facilities. We can audit your current electrical setup and identify where you're wasting money. Common wins include LED lighting retrofits, installing timers and motion sensors in low-traffic areas, rebalancing three-phase loads to reduce waste, and upgrading old switchboards. We give you the numbers upfront so you can see the payback period before committing.
Switchboards & Distribution
Switchboard Upgrades & Distribution Boards
If your industrial switchboard is outdated, at capacity, or still using old fuse protection, it needs upgrading. We replace and upgrade main switchboards, sub-distribution boards, and motor control centres. All work complies with AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 61439 for industrial switchboard assemblies. For more detail on our switchboard upgrade services, visit our dedicated page.
Thermal Imaging & Switchboard Scanning
Thermal imaging (infrared thermography) detects hot spots, loose connections, overloaded circuits, and failing components in live switchboards without shutting down power. As per AS/NZS 3019 Clause 5.8, connection integrity should be tested with a thermal imaging device. We carry out annual thermal imaging scans and provide a full report with infrared images, temperature differentials, severity ratings, and recommended actions.
Security, Data & Communications
CCTV & Security Camera Installation
We install industrial-grade CCTV systems with remote viewing for factories, warehouses, and yards. This includes the cabling, power supply, and mounting — whether you need cameras covering loading docks, perimeter fencing, entry points, or internal production areas. Industrial CCTV deters theft, monitors workplace safety, and provides evidence in the event of an incident or insurance claim.
Security Alarms & Lighting
We install and maintain security alarm systems for industrial properties, including back-to-base monitored alarms, sensor placement, and keypad and access control setup. We also install sensor-activated floodlights, perimeter lighting, and car park lighting. Good exterior lighting on an industrial site is one of the most effective deterrents against break-ins and vandalism.
Data & Communications Cabling
Slow network speeds in a warehouse or factory are often a cabling problem. We install and certify structured data cabling (Cat6/Cat6a) and fibre optic runs for industrial premises. Whether you need data points for warehouse management systems, barcode scanners, network switches, or a full structured cabling install for a new tenancy, we test and certify every connection.
Maintenance & Emergency
Fault Finding & Repairs
Tripping circuits, machinery faults, flickering lighting, or unexplained power outages — electrical faults in an industrial facility can shut down production. Our electricians carry testing equipment to trace the source of a problem without guessing. If the fault is in your switchboard, distribution board, or machinery wiring, we can diagnose and repair on the same visit wherever possible.
Preventive Electrical Maintenance
Regular maintenance prevents expensive breakdowns and keeps your facility compliant with workplace health and safety requirements. We offer scheduled maintenance programs covering switchboard inspections, thermal imaging, RCD testing, emergency lighting checks, and general electrical health assessments. Managing multiple sites? We can set up an electrical maintenance schedule that covers all of them.
Test & Tag
Test and tag is a workplace safety requirement under AS/NZS 3760. We test and tag portable electrical equipment across your facility — power tools, extension leads, welders, grinders, portable lighting, and any cord-connected equipment. For manufacturing and workshop environments, the recommended testing interval is every 6 months. We provide a full compliance report and tagging record.
24/7 Emergency Call-out
Electrical emergencies in an industrial facility can halt production and cost thousands per hour in downtime. Our emergency electrician team is available around the clock. We service all of Melbourne's industrial zones and can usually be on site within the hour. Whether it's a three-phase supply failure at 3am or a machinery fault during a weekend shift, you'll get a qualified electrician — not a call centre.
For Melbourne electrical services beyond industrial, we also provide residential electrician services for homes and commercial electrician services for offices and retail across Melbourne.
